Defending Soldiers and Attack Tools

Hi. I couldn't find this in the sticky but might have missed something while skimming the list. Sorry if I have.

Can we have defending soldiers as well as cannons and towers etc? Because logically someone wouldn't leave their base undefended except for a few automatic cannons. Also how about attacking tools? Like you could command a squad of 5 Barbarians to use a battering ram to smash down a wall or something. It could add much more strategy to the game and also I know this has been rejected, but if we got rid of the Troops Expended thing the defenders could help balance off the overkill. Please consider, thanks.

Nice idea with the attacking tools, but it draws from the style of the game IMO and would never see SC implementing something that sounds so complicated to program.

When it comes to defensive troops, the clan castle is enough. Like I said about the attacking tools, it goes against the style of the game and even though clan castle troops are capable of defending, adding more troops like that will completely change how the game is played.

Changing the style of the game and how it's played on a level like that, will mean that a lot of loyal players will probably quit, as they play the game for what it is and will dislike the change (no two people have the same opinion on a change).
